Rick was recently quoted in a Washington Times story by Karen Goldberg Goff, "Always In Hock." The article, which ran on Sunday, January 7th, 2007, profiled overspending couples.
Goff says of Rick, "South Dakota financial planner Rick Kahler, author of the book The Financial Wisdom of Ebenezer Scrooge, says overspending has little to do with how much money one makes. "I can think of one couple who makes $350,000 but spends $400,000 and one who makes $700,000 but spends $1.2 million," he says. "It is totally relative. One can make $30,000 a year and overspend as easily as someone who makes a million."
Probably the most notable aspect of the article to those close to Rick was the fact that he originally thought he was interviewed by the Washington Post and was calling his DC friends asking for copies. He now has several copies of the January 7 Washington Post!
One other notable correction that was left out of the story was the fact that Rick is not THE author of The Financial Wisdom of Ebenezer Scrooge, but a co-author with Drs. Ted and Brad Klontz.
